Where to find weather-related announcements

The first week of spring-semester classes is almost behind us! I wish I could say the same about winter weather, but alas, the snow, wind and cold temperatures will be with us for a while yet. So, here is some information that you may wish to keep handy until the tulips start blooming: 

A decision to close campus offices and cancel classes is typically announced prior to 6:30 a.m. In the rare — and friends, it *IS* rare! — event that offices are closed and classes are cancelled, you can find the announcement in the following places:

Remember, our proximity to Lake Michigan affects our temperatures and precipitation. This means that conditions on Hope’s campus may be very different from conditions on other college campuses across the state, even those nearby. If you see that a college in West Michigan is cancelling classes, please do not take it as an indication that Hope will, or should, cancel classes.

Bundle up, stay warm and enjoy the rest of the Michigan winter!
